Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-02 00:00:00 Kenneth Duncan I didn't realise there was a series of these books and I haven't read them in order, but no matter they still make sense. This is the second book I have read by Edward Marston, I didn't enjoy it as much as The Excursion Train but I did still enjoy the read. Inspector Colbeck is an interesting man and I enjoy reading him as he is an intriguing character compared to the rest. I was excited when I started this as it is a murder mystery but then as the story went on into its sub plot, I lost a bit of interest and I didn't really see how Colbeck linked everything up, it all seemed a bit far fetched for me, it didn't add up for me. There didn't really seem to be too much of a mystery and it didn't leave me sitting here guessing either. I think it was sweet that Colbeck lets his "friend" Madeleine help him with his investigations and I remember in the last book, she seemed of some use, but I felt in this story, he didn't really need her and he could have got the information without her, it just didn't sit right with me. The ending however, I didn't actually see it coming, and was a shocking surprise for me. I will continue to read these books as they are good reads.
